Nice one. When I was a kid I used to wait for the road racers to pass my house, catch them up pass them (usually with a smart comment) and convientally turn off after 100 yards or so. They knew what I was up to, but i thought I was the dogs bits. Eventually I ended up joining them. The only thing I was good at was sprints surprisingly enough. :) Thanks for the video.
@TalesAU, I did not make this video but I think I recognise the method. The camera (could be any small digital camera) is fastend to the handlebar with some kind of bracket. Also the microphone seems to be taped shut, to prevent terrible wind noise. That's why most of the sound you hear is actually the sound of the bicycle itself, or sound that is transmitted trhough the bicycle.
@sweixel OK then perhaps you have a better camera than me, which is just a cheap thing. Also it has the microphone on the front so it catches the wind quite badly. With the mic taped shut, I do like how you can hear wheel and axle noises, freewheel etc. as they are amplified through the frame.
@TalesAU It's a Contour HD 720 zip-tied to my stem. I have pictures on my blog linked to from my channel profile page. This camera recently died and I have a new Contour Roam on the way.
Everyone started drafting the kid at the end.
Cool video!

@des1mone It's too bad that you have to interpret "ownage" into the video rather than see it for the good-spirited fun that it was.
